Description

Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region. For the 70th Anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-held Europe, this two-part eries tells the story of D-Day in HD. Rare footage is rendered in High Definition, then combined with interviews from the men who lived through it.
